This course offers unparalleled, comprehensive knowledge that equips new drivers with the mastery to navigate the roads safely & courteously.  Insurance discounts are possible depending on the insurance provider. Classes may be taken in any order and additional driving lessons can be added at any time.

Driving lessons are done in 2-hour blocks and begin with the basics so that the instructor can develop a good understanding of each student’s experience, skill, knowledge and confidence. As lessons progress, the instructor will make sure that each core skill is learned before building upon it. Lessons will cover accelerating, braking, turning and parking maneuvers before graduating to lane choice, speed management, urban and rural driving, driving on hills, highway driving.

The student schedules a test at least 10 business days (no weekends) after lessons have been completed.   We meet the student at the RMV, students use our vehicle and have a Safe Driving Professional on hand to answer any last-minute test day questions.

Driving Lesson Schedules displayed here are not a guarantee of availability after enrollment, as students are booking in real time. We add new lesson inventory every week.

License test appointments at our select locations are released to us by the RMV on a month-by-month basis. You may purchase a license test during enrollment or anytime after in the student portal. Once you have completed all of your requirements and are eligible to test, please contact us to schedule your license test appointment at The Next Street.
